Altenew Get Inky with Alcohol Inks Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)


Hello and welcome to the Get Inky With Alcohol Inks blog hop and Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Kinjal Trivedi, if not you can go back to the start of the hop at any time by visiting the Altenew Card Blog (where I am sharing another card)


I always use Yupo synthetic paper when working with Alcohol inks and use 91% isopropyl alcohol. I started by adding some Isopropyl to the Yupo surface and then added some Just Green and Azurite ink, I then use an air blower tool to move the alcohol ink around.

Once dry I used Stazon ink to stamp the Courageous You flower over the inked background. I then used a blender pen to mark small dots around the image. The Alcohol in the pen bleaches the ink leaving behind lighter areas. I then added sentiments from the Bold Sentiments stamp set with foam tape. Lastly I added a few clear dew drops.


You can find all of the alcohol inks here :Alcohol Markers Refills

Your next stop is Karen Reátegui

  19. Your alcohol inks look so soft I did not even guess you used them. At first it looked like watercolor. Great job!

  20. I loved that you mentioned using the blender brush marker for adding details over your stamped image. I have been wondering what ink to use on Yupo paper for stamping. Thanks so much for the tips.
